#become your true self

[starry-bi-sky]

12AM late night danyal al ghul propaganda to consider (that is funny to me): this little brat being meaAN. nice twin danyal al ghul: great, fun, we love opposite twins. wonder where he's learning that kindness from, but it's a good dichotomy! but also mean danny fenton. this little shit can make an adult CRY. he is on par with Damian for most venomous barbs. he is a smarmy little motherfucker. he's nice to his people and HIS people only. everyone else can screw off for all he cares - he's gotta learn to care about other people. his canon sarcasm and wit goes from level 2 to level 10. he is a sarcastic, smarmy, witty little asshole and i could go on but the idea of danny fenton being a mean little menace to people is very very fun and amusing to me

#dpxdc #dp x dc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #danyal al ghul au #because then it means *I* get to explore how he obtains specific traits from canon while also staying true to that 'mean' characterization #exploration of personality traits and how they can be conveyed in different ways #how does this little jerk (affectionate) become similar enough to his canon self to the point where he's still recognizable but not a copy #also morally grey danny fenton whose actually like. on the darker side of morally grey and isnt just #'lightly grey shaded but only to the “bad” people' #because again see above ^^ exploration of personality traits and how he obtains specific canon traits and how they manifest differently #danny fenton with the orange-blue morality #and he never really STOPS being mean to people either he just mellows out. but he will swing at a hornet's nest with a metal bat #him and damian being remarkably similar but still individual to themselves #asshole with a heart of gold danny is what im saying #this isnt a super serious take im just having fun #if someone comes at him. like if you bare your teeth at him he's going for the throat immediately #'they go low i go lowER' also consider: mean danyal al ghul being a menace to vlad masters #late night starry posts that they think are funny #creating multifaceted characters comes with realizing that you need to treat your characters like people and realize that they will react #differently to situations depending on what it is and who they’re with/who its about #the ‘jokester kinda annoying’ character is never going to be joking and annoying all the time. what happens if someone they love gets hurt? #or they’re put in a situation where they realize they need to be serious? what makes them cry? what makes them angry? #what is a character like beyond the little trope label they’ve been shoved behind? #thats just an example but its one that helped me quickly understand characterization better

My trans Danny headcanon:

Danny Fenton is AFAB, using a binder and wants to get top and bottom surgery as an adult.

Danny Phantom reflects his inner self and is therefore physically male and slightly more muscular.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #trans danny fenton #because angst #the dysphoria of getting your dream body but you had to die first #i am an evil gremlin #danny becoming his true self at the cost of his parents hating him

Dress in a way that terrifies parents and makes 14 year olds widen their eyes in envy and inspiration

#look bad look horrible look weird look YOU #look terrifying and relish in every second of it #dress like people will make fun of you. they wil. but by god will you be yourself and free #be ugly for the love of god you have got to allow yourself to be ugly. that is the final step to looking incredible #when uou stop caring how others percieve you. that's when you're achieving your true self #'but what if it's lame' who cares. be free #no more fashion trends no more 'so-and-so said this is in fashion' no more. no more. no more. #I happen to be trendy right now but i assure you i will still be wearing this when it becomes lame again go free

If anyone cares, my nearest and dearest headcanon is that duck is aro bi and fakir is bi ace and they’re queerplatonic best friends/partners. He has romantic feelings for her and she doesn’t return them. This isn’t to say Duck cares about him any less—she doesn’t feel that way about anyone (through their friendship she becomes comfortable enough to admit that). They’re both aware of this dynamic and happy with the relationship they have.

#post canon if duck becomes a girl again they’re roommates (oh my god they were roommates) #i think fakir especially would be so chill about duck being aro be your true self and all #princess tutu #lea posts

I've gone so far down the kazui mukuhara rabbit hole that I'll listen to any fucking song ever and it'll still remind me of him. FOR EXAMPLE

DO YOU SEE MY VISION....

#like yk the way he wears a mask for the majority of half and the mask is meant to represent his lies and like hiding his true self #yk like putting on a mask becoming someone else on stage actor shit yada yada #SO LIKE. “i know you've been hiding secrets in your past” and kazui mentions thoughts on his mind that he “gave up A LONG TIME AGO” #“whats behind the mask” like asking him to tell the truth and !!! be his true self !! to stop acting !!! #AND THEN LIKE... “curiosity killed this cat/sorry i ever asked” because kazui talks about how hinako would still be alive if he kept lying #it just . reminds me of him #ALOT #and i wasnt expecting it man i was just doing my sphe cba #i cant listen to music normally anymore and its all milgrams fault #milgram #kazui mukuhara #sorry for the ramble im procrastinating having a shower and going to sleep and i also just wanted to share this. discovery #Spotify

People should be more afraid of asexuals, because they’re the only people that are immune to one of the seven deadly sins

#seven deadly sins #maybe they have metaphorical lust. lust for the aesthetic #asexual #we also should fear aromantics but they aren’t necessarily immune to lust so fear them for the usual reasons #pride? sometimes can be negated by self-hatred but usually shows up when you do something to be proud of. as it should #greed? you might donate your money to orphans but if anyone touches your collection of shiny trinkets their hand will be removed #envy? unless you have never met any other living beings I don’t think it’s possible to escape this one #wrath? work in public service for a week and we’ll get you wanting to fistfight god #gluttony? eating disorders are a thing; however you should definitely eat something unless you wanna die #sloth? insomnia is a thing. but you should probably sleep if you don’t want to be driven mad upon the rocks #honestly too little of the seven deadly sins is also bad. no sloth? you’re barely functioning. no gluttony? you die of starvation. #no wrath? you’ll become a doormat. no envy? you’ll never want to improve yourself. no greed? you give all your stuff away and are now poor #no pride? you don’t love yourself AT ALL. no lust? no new generation. #and frankly that last one isn’t bad in the slightest considering that much is also true for people with a same-gender significant other #(unless they are also trans and willing but that’s a them problem to have) #plus overpopulation is a thing anyway so frankly the less lust the better. #the avatar of lust has been too overworked the past few decades and and wants a damn break for once #tw eating issues #tw eating disorder #eating disorder mention #shitpost

what got me so insanely angsty about the relationship between ludger and casey is that it's not even subtext. it's literally in the text that are their own words.

they canonically enjoy the other person's company.

they canonically believe the other person is one of a very few who could understand them.

they canonically understand each other, from personalities and capabilities to behaviors and thoughts.

ludger canonically regrets ruining their relationship.

casey canonically wishes to mend their relationship.

they canonically want(ed) this relationship.

#the only thing that really is subtext is that ludger even now still lowkey yearns for it as well #just similar to how he lowkey enjoys teaching under the pretense of playacting #will there ever be a day sayren finally frees me from this suffering 😔 #every time ludger cites the reason why their relationship can no longer work out its always how he thinks casey should think about him #but unfortunately for him casey being the girlboss as she should will think and do whatever she wants #barely related if you squints but #it sure is funny that ludgers authentic self gradually leaks out day by day and becomes what his supposedly fake identity is known for #and vice versa #something something... and yet a trace of the true self exists in the false self #if at one point your fake identity becomes one with your true self then can we still say it only is a fake identity? #are you a man dreaming of being a butterfly or are you a butterfly dreaming of being a man? #aro ludgercasey propaganda #selmore's undercover husband

#Woha... Alright read the chapter 🫡 #It's just. I get where Fukuchi is coming from and I feel like after rereading it the whole thing was a little more clear but... #Did it *really* have to be so complicated. Like dude did it **really** have to be so complicated. #Maybe it had to idk. After all I'm always the first to say that a complex reality can't be reduced to simple axioms– #and that semplifications never bring anything good. #But at the same time was there REALLY no other way #Couldn't you promote your ideas diplomatically instead. Couldn't you become a democratic activist or politician. #Couldn't you write a book‚ person named OUCHI FUKUCHI #Also couldn't you? Talk about it with someone before executing your crazy plan so that anyone else might have pointed to you how crazy it i #But I suppose the whole central theme of this arc ultimately was “people who try to do everything by their own are destined to fall” #And to an extent it does still feel kinda self-contradictory of a plan. Like ahah my plan included not to make anyone suffer!!! #[turns half world population into a vampire] #Like c'mon? Violations of human rights can happen even without killing people dude #(Also Akutagawa) #(Like I get it he's only one (1) person. But he's also the only (only) person for me so I can't bring myself to ignore him y'know) #Mmmmmhhhhhh that's of the main things ig. I YELLED when they brought up Max Weber and the what-is-a-state question #That's like. One of the main questions my whole life studies centers on. #The adrenaline that gave me to see it mentioned in my current hyperfixation ahfjvafjhcvlawsvfblwhkv #This chapter was just so so political theories packed I felt like I was just still studying lol. #I feel like this was a true “get why bsd is labelled as seinen”. #You just can't do this kind of in-depth political theory discussion in shonen manga ig #What else. Still patiently waiting for ss/kk 😔 #random rambles

“Don’t debase yourself for a man who doesn’t have a single tourine on board.”

Don’t expect people without critical thinking skills to understand basic narrative arcs within a text. If they refused to see Izzy’s obvious redemption arc brewing in season one, it’s their fault. If they didn’t listen to David for months talking about Izzy’s storyline lovingly, it’s their fault.

Let them be miserable. You got silly pirate shit to do.

#ofmd #I said what I said #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2 #I was not an Izzy stan on my first watch #I hated that guy #but then I put my thinking cap on #this show is about healing and becoming your true self #if people want characters to be hateful and one demensional that’s on them #I’m gonna thank David for my shiny gold unicorn #ofmd s2 spoilers

#i have genuinely personally never seen so many collective communities of people hate one guy so much but also never stop #talking about that one guy they hate so much over and over all the damn time #seen people call that dream's 'second fanbase' and it makes me laugh cause so true #why not just leave him alone.. #i get some people are thoroughly addicted to the clout it gets them on twitter or whatever but other than that #what's the reason. read a book. sit on the grass and smell the wind blowing through the trees. feel rays of sunlight on your face #no one needs to know that much about the one guy you hate #you can dislike things! you can be negative! we are human!! but recognize when that becomes an obsession #and maybe self reflect for once...

It’s easier to give up an old phase as opposed to an old hobby. If only the adults in your life knew about "growing up”.

everybodys all lets condemn people with Morally Impure Interests until all of a sudden you have an interest that is suddenly considered Impure and wanes in and out of Public Opinion for many years because nobody actually knows how to think for themselves online. personally i think we'd all be very lonely if we chose and broke friendships based on.... What Video Games They Like and like absolutely nothing else regarding the person's character

#like consider the fact that Steven Universe was considered Irredeemable Media 5 or so years ago #which sounds like me just bitching about the fact that ive been getting into pretty NOTABLY muddy media as of late (which is true) #but even when it comes down to it... #you start talking to people in real life and its like hey everyone has a voice and opinions outside of the media they consume #You know #and it doesnt just end there this is rlly why ive looped back to supporting self expression and supporting victims above all else #in supposed “darkfic” “proship” “discourse” #its just kinda like.. #well none of these things are cut-and-dry. there is context behind why people do anything that they do #social media exists to curate a limiting digital image of yourself therefore people make judgment calls based on very small parts #of your whole character #and this is why i deleted twitter #because its like an ocd torture simulator #anyways i know im being incredibly vague and i mean OBVIOUSLY there are always outliers ie actual literal propaganda art and all of that #im making a sweeping statement because this type of discourse has become so aimless that words dont even have meaning anymore #like we just need to destroy the whole thing and start over. #anyways i might delete this later its just on my mind #becuase of those maia crimew posts lol

i got the cutscene <3

#its actually crazy that there was even more content i missed that impacted the story this much #like this rlly illustrated how even tho my character and astari0n have both become better people astari0n is still so behind in that #(we know why ofc. hes still acting like a feral cat trying to self preservere with teeth and nail and all until the very end; the ritual) #my character had his most obvious 'shifting point' at the transition from act 2 to act 3 #like he fully realized that this is now truly bigger than himself. he has left marks on the lands and he has to go all the way #he has made true friends. one of his best friends is the kindest most compassionate person in the world #and very importantly he loves astari0n and THAT is the reason he now feels this actual compassion towards the other spawn #hes so personally invested in this issue now #and he can say that 'the world can be a wonderful place if you find your home in it astari0n' bc its something he has just recently had #a personal revelation abt #and astari0n deflects it and describes my character as someone who now 'spends their life sorting out other peoples problems' #and it rlly brings it to focus that he just cannot meet him where hes at anymore #just great conflict that feels actually meaningful and perfectly fits into the roleplay storyline ive made for my character #and omg the line 'im doing this for you too you know. to make sure were both safe. forever' from astari0n is just AAAAAAHDJJDJD. CRAZY #bc we know how toxic he becomes towards you if he completes the ritual!!!!!! #HHHHH this character!!!!! hes just MWAH. perfection #i cant wait until i get to doing the szarr palace again bc this added conflict will make the conclusion of this quest even more satisfying #anyway TOTAL tonal shift time. in start of the cutscene astari0n is standing next to the bed my character was sleeping in #so i can now have the hc that some nights they sleep in the same bed <3 #(WELL. you know. my character sleeps while he meditates)
